Science Ninja Team Gatchaman - Season 1 Episode 99 G-2 Covered with Wounds

The Science Ninja has pursued Katse and arrives at a base. X orders Katse to terminate the Science Ninja Team. They want to reciprocate when missiles are shot at them from the base, but Joe can't focus properly and therefore can't decide on a target either. The bird missile he shoots blindly destroys the upper part of the fortress. The five of them break into the base, but they are guided into a trap and are about to be buried under sand. They escape with the tornado fighter, but because of Joe's blinding, they fail the first time. Ken notices Joe's condition and orders him to stay on the alert in the God Phoenix. Joe goes back to the God Phoenix and is irritated because he has the enemy before his eyes and can't do anything. He punches a panel and causes his fist to bleed. Ken and the others discover an ammunition storage room and plan to use it to confuse the enemy, but through a trick of X they are locked up in a room with a drill attached to its bottom side. The room moves forward deep into the earth, heading towards the magma. Through the drill's centrifugal force there's nothing they can do. Ken contacts Joe in the God Phoenix, and tells him to shoot a bird missile equipped with a timing device right below the drill. When Joe says that he doesn't have self-confidence, Ken his convinced that something is not right with Joe's body. However, Ken tells him that he entrusts their lives to him and lets him know the location of the drill with a bird scramble. Joe prays that for one second everything will be well and back to normal. The eyes return to normal for a moment. Joe's fist punches hard on the launching button. The Science Ninja Team escapes alive and well, but Ken, without reason, feels afraid at the sight of the blood on Joe's hand.
